I didn't have to run a slow, heavy, rough-riding tire, didn't have to change a tube on the side of the highway in 40-degree temps, and the "fix" took about 60 seconds in the comfort of my garage.

But yeah, Leisesturm , tubeless tires are misery!

I had the same experience on a tubular with sealant. Didn't know I had picked up a 1" brad in my rear tire until I got home. Pulled the brad out, spun the tire and added a little air.
